FCC NOTICE
FCC ID: YRW-BP50PLUSM
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: —Reorient or
relocate the receiving antenna. —Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. —
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected. —Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Caution: Any changes or modifications to this device not explicitly approved by manufacturer could
void your authority to operate this equipment. This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) information:
This BluePad-50 Plus MSR meets the government's requirements for exposure to radio waves. The
guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations
through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial
safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons regardless of age or health. FCC RF Exposure
Information and Statement the SAR limit of USA (FCC) is 1.6 W/kg averaged over one gram of tissue.
Device types: BluePad-50 Plus MSR has also been tested against this SAR limit. This device was tested
for typical body-worn operations with the back of the BluePad-50 Plus MSR kept 0mm from the body.
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements, use accessories that maintain an 0mm
separation distance between the user's body and the back of the BluePad-50 Plus MSR. The use of
belt clips, holsters and similar accessories should not contain metallic components in its assembly. The
use of accessories that do not satisfy these requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure
requirements, and should be avoided.
